Show Notes
Drew Moret is a highly acclaimed skiff guide and the son of fishing legend, Sandy Moret. You can only imagine his childhood growing up with that DNA in the Sport Fishing Capital of the world, Islamorada, Florida. Sandy’s friends are the who’s who in the flats fishing game; Steve Huff, Flip Pallot, Chico Fernandez, Stu Apte, Billy Knowles, and many others. The inspiration to be somebody in fishing was everywhere you looked. All the kids of that generation became great fishermen and if you loved to fish, guiding was the door to financial security. Drew took to tarpon in a big way. The bonefishing was off the charts during these formative years, but Drew became a backcountry genius knowing when and where these silver kings would be, showing their voracious bite to a well placed fly. Regardless of the time of year or the weather, he’ll be looking for the poon and most likely he’ll find them. He prides himself on fishing for tarpon year round, although he can do it all. From cobia fishing on the wrecks, to tailing redfish and sunning snook. On todays podcast, we cover a number of adventures from the life of a Megalops addict!
